Subject: [PATCH 3/5] x86: Do microcode updates at CPU_STARTING, not CPU_ONLINE v2
From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>
Do microcode updates of resuming or newling plugged CPUs earlier
in CPU_STARTING instead of later when ONLINE. This prevents races
with parallel users who may need a microcode update to avoid some
problem.
Since we cannot request the microcode from udev at this stage,
try to grab the microcode from another CPU. This is also more efficient
because it avoids redundant loads. In addition to that
it avoids the need for separate paths for resume and CPU bootup.
This requires invalidating the microcodes on other CPUs on free.
Each CPU does this in parallel, so it's not a big problem. Each
CPU touches at most NR_CPUs memory locations.
When there is no good microcode available the update is delayed
until the update can be requested. In the normal cases it should
be available.
v2: Review updates
